South San Joaquin County Fire Authority trained today as part of Cal OES Swift Water/Flood Team 13 alongside our partners at Manteca Fire and Lathrop-Manteca Fire. This joint team worked through coordinated water rescue scenarios focused on improving response times and strengthening our regional response capabilities. Team members also completed their swim test to ensure they are physically prepared and ready to respond when called upon. By training together, we respond stronger—prepared for any water or flood emergency that comes our way. 🌊🚒

A major step forward for EMS in San Joaquin County 🚑 Today, the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors approved the contract granting CENCAL Fire and EMS Authority exclusive operating rights to provide ambulance services in San Joaquin County. This agreement strengthens regional collaboration and creates a more sustainable EMS system by improving cost recovery and aligning resources across public agencies and our ambulance provider. As a result, the system is positioned to: • Increase ambulance availability and coverage • Improve response reliability and coordination • Reinforce performance standards and local oversight • Support enhanced service levels for the communities we serve This milestone reflects years of collaboration among local fire agencies, San Joaquin County, and our EMS partners. Today’s approval positions our region for long-term stability while maintaining a clear focus on patient care and community needs. Grateful for the teamwork that made this possible and proud of what this means for San Joaquin County.

As Black History Month approaches, the Tracy Fire Department is proud to recognize opportunities to connect with and inspire our community. We appreciate Tracy High School for inviting Engineer Sharp and his crew to visit their campus, where he shared his journey, spoke with students, and took part in an engaging Q&A. Moments like these help spark meaningful conversations and encourage leadership through service. 🔥 #BlackHistoryMonth #LocalLeaders #TracyHighSchool #CommunityImpact #FutureFirstResponders

🚨 Traffic Collision – Morning Fog Reminder 🚨 At approximately 7:00 a.m., Tracy Fire crews responded to a report of a vehicle collision at Koster Road and Vernalis Road. Upon arrival, crews found a Toyota Prius that had collided with and become lodged underneath a semi-truck trailer. Firefighters completed a careful extrication in approximately 10 minutes. Fortunately, the patient sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported for further evaluation. Dense morning fog was present and was likely a contributing factor. This incident serves as an important reminder to slow down, increase following distance, and use extra caution during reduced visibility conditions. The California Highway Patrol is investigating the collision.
